Keeping up with the requirements of the Code should be the goal of
everyone involved in electrical safety. The following is what I feel is an
important rule in the 2020 NEC®, complete with
graphics and a video. I encourage you to use it as a training resource for
your organization, and share it with your colleagues.

Article 517 contains the rules for electrical systems installed in health care occupancies. Branch circuit requirements in these areas are unique and must be understood for a Code compliant installation.
One of the more confusing topics is redundant equipment grounding that is required in patient care spaces. It may leave you wondering where it's required and why.
Read the attached excerpt from Mike's Understanding the National Electrical Code Volume 2, then join Mike and a panel of experts as they discuss the Code requirements for wiring patient care areas.
